in that case | could not make you happy
and you would not make me happy. We
should be best apart. But do not talk
OF such thing, MAY. / should sooner
expect to see a modest little violet
changed into glaring sunfiower than
20 find my little May working and think
ing for the world at large instead Of
me-"
"You do not call that selfish, / sup
poser" questioned May, with little
laugh.
"All love is more or less So" was the
reply; and then the Captain went Oft
into long and learned discourse upon
the subject in question.
So this wooing went on through the
long bright summer months, and at
length the day was settled for the mar
riage-the tenth of September. Almost
all the inhabitants of Upton were in the
little church to see it. No such we'd
ding was remembered by the Oldest in
habitant. II was scarcely to be believ-
ed that brave young officer, wounded
in one of those terrible wars that they
had read Of, had come to their quiet lit
tie town and found wife there. And
to think that he should have selected
quiet modest little May, whose name
had never been so much as mentioned
in connection with that of any lover be-
forel If 1t had been one of those DASH
ing brilliant Misses Sewell, or even Miss
Lane, they would not have been so much
surprised.
Yet no one could fairly wonder, for a
more lovely bride had never been seen
in Upton. The sweet face hidden by
the white bridal veil. the orange-blos-
SONS that crowned the graceful head,
the white-robed slender figure, were all
perfect; and many envied the brave
Captain as he came back with his wife's
little hand resting upon his arm. Those
who had seen the wedding spoke Of it
for many long day afterwards. The
sun was shining its brightest: the world
that morning seemed full of fragrance
and melody and beauty.
The children threw flowers in the
brides path, and she smiled as her lit
tie feet walked over them. They were
but type, she thought, of the fair ex-
istence opening before her.
The church-bells pealed gaily when
the young officer and his bride babe
adieu to quiet Upton. No one noticed
the white panied looked on Doctor
Brent's face; no one guessed that those
marriage-bells gave forth the death
knell of the fairest hopes of his life.
Captain Ruthven, by his wife's eX-
press wish, took her TO a quiet little sea-
side town in North Wales, and their
honeymoon was spent there.

CHAPTER XII.

How it happened Captain Ruthven
could never tell, but he fJHHd himself
in love with May Brooke; and he knew
that the world held no treasure so price
less for him as that pure young heart.
The Captain was brave man. He
had met the enemy under the most ad.
verse conditions, Once he had saved
the life of a brother in arms at the risk
of his own. He had led a forlorn hope.
But now his courage failed him, and he
blushed and trembled like q sensitive
girl. He felt that he dared not risk the
happiness of his life, that he dared not
ask for May Brooke's love, lest she
should refuse him. Who was he, he
asked himself, that he could hope to
win that fair innocent girl, whose mind
and heart were so far above his OWN

William Fl. Howell, the Republican
nominee for Surrogate, is so well and favor
ably known throughout the length and
breadth of Morris county, that an intro
duction to our readers is scarcely neces-
sary. In his nomination as well as that
of Captain Cory, the Convention last Mon
day did such a manifestly wise thing that
there remains but little to be said. Mr..
Howell was the choice of the Convention
for Surrogate, and in nominating him it
reflected credit upon the party and, in
deed, the county as we'll He has ever
been faithful and jealous worker in the
Republican cause, has spent both time and
money in the interest of the party, but
has never held an office of pecuniary
value True he represented his district
two years in the Legislature, but it is
scarcely necessary to say that there is no
money in being an honest Legislator, and
this Mr.. Howell was he has been Director
of the Board of Freeholders, which is an
other office with an available salary only
in honor and the consciousness of serving
your fellow men and he served one term
as Sheriff. term VIGOROUSLY barren of
any financial gain. So it cannot be said
of him that he has held remuneratiye
offices. He makes no claim upon the
party. however, upon that score but the
party feel that to him is eminently due
some more fitting and substantial recog-
milton than has yet been rendered him.
AS to his capabilities, there can be no ques-
ton about his peculiar fitness for the office
of Surrogate 1t will be more congenial
and more in accordance with his natural
tastes than was the Office of Sheriff. His
experience in legal and public matters is
another strong argument which should not
be lost sight of, and it will avail him much
in the important Office to which we firmly
believe he will be called on election day.
AS man and representative citizen he has
no superior among his fellows. He fills
the highest possible standard of man
smong men. His public and private char
acter are equally above reproach, and he
fills the highest measure of public or pri-
vate citizenship. OF his faithfulness and
satisfactory discharge of any public trust
which he might be called upon to assume,
there can be no possible question. His
hold upon the confidence and esteem of this
community would seem phenomenal were
it not for the universally recognized fact
that it is richly merited. He will be the
next Surrogate

There is no question but that the move
ment in some of the great cities-New
York, Philadelphia, Buffalo and elsewhere
to set aside the Sunday liquor laws is to
become grave issue. It is forming nc
inconsiderable part of the situation in
Philadelphia, and in New York, Buffalo
and Albany it has taken such turn that
Protestant and Catholic clergy are uniting
in efforts to check the growing sentiment.
Setting aside Sunday laws never does a
country or nation any good. There are
legitimate and proper recreations for the
Sabbath that are neither harmful nor iniu-
rious, and every lover of law and order, or
progress and purity, ought to. be enlisted
in the efforts to perpetuate the observance
of the day. Opening of saloons on Sun
day would lead to carousal; it is no argu-
ment to say that it is done in other coun-
tries. America is not an Eastern nation.
and what might not degenerate the race
there, would here. There are scientific
reasons why the Sabbath should not be
given over to drinking, and if people have
no respects for the real sentiments of the
day they should regard the laws Of health
and the laws Of effect 1t is not necessary
to introduce argument based on religion in
order to prove that Sabbath laws ought to
be maintained.

The work of the Convention last Mon
day is universally commended by Republi-
cans, and, indeed, is tacitly approved by
good many Democrats as well. There
could have been no better or more generally
satisfactory selection for Sheriff than that
of Captain Cory; and exactly the same
may be said of the choice of VIM. FL.
Howell for Surrogate. For that Office
there were two strong candidates, Howell
and McDaYit. Each had strong follow
ing in the Convention, and each have a
host of friends throughout the county.
Mr.. McDavit, than whom there is no better
Republican or more worthy gentleman in
Morris county, had many friends in the
Convention, as, indeed, he has in the
county, but Mr.. Howell got the nomina-
ton on the first ballot That two such
popular and capable candidates were
available for nomination to the important
office Of Surrogate. is only cumulative
evidence of the abundance of good timber
all through the Republican party. Two
good men wanted the nomination, but
only one could be chosen. With many
delegates it was delicate task to choose
between them, but the choice was made
with all fairness and without offence tc
the minority. The manifest spirit Of
harmony and cordially which character
lied the proceedings of the Convention
evinced graceful acquiescence in the
good old doctrine of majority rule, anc
augurs well for the future of the party

Capt. Ira w. Cory needs no introduce

native of Morristown and lifelong resi-
dent here, save the four years spent in the
army and a short period in business in
Trenton, he has ever been identified with
Morris county and its interests He was
ever a representative Republican, and al
ways voted in New Jersey as he fought
in Virginia-against the enemy Although
a stanch and jealous Republican, he has
happily escaped special Identification with
any particular ring or faction, and is
therefore entitled to, and will no doubt re
ceive, his entire party vote. His expert
ence Of more than nine years as Deputy
Sheriff eminently qualities him for the
position of Sheriff, and his long and faith
full service to his country and his party
merits the just reward of a rousing ma
jority next Tuesday two weeks. His social
qualities and genial, kindly disposition
have won him host of warm personal
friends, who will rejoice to see him elected

The Prohibitionists who aided in the
election of President Cleveland, must feel
complimented by his conspicuous public
example, while visiting Milwaukee. AT
that place he visited the establishments of
two rival brewers, and with the idea of
capturing the German vote, sampled the
beer Of those men. in a public manner.
None would deny him the right to drink
beer. if be so desires, but it does not coin
eide with ideas Of propriety for the Presi-
dent Of the United States to publicly set
such an example before the youth Of the
land. 1t is a species of denagogism that
will lose him the support of hundreds of
votes, as there was no more necessity for
visiting the breweries than pork packing
establishment.

The Banner in booming Mr.. Lindsey
for Sheriff says, HE has also served his
township as Assessor for several years,
and in every public position has proven
capable and faithful, and, il elected as
Sheriff. viii make one of the safest men
Morris county has ever had in that office.
Let us see about that. 1t is notorious
fact that Oscar Lindsey is. one of the most
popular Assessors ever elected in Passaie
township. 1t is equally notorious that this
same popularity is the direct result of his
unfaithfulness in the discharge of his duty
and official obligations Ever since being
elected Assessor he has apparently made it
his one aim and study to lower the valua-
ton of the property and thus reduce the
taxes of his constituents. In some 1n>
stances (of which we are in possession of
substantial proof he has done this to such
a fragrant degree that it amounts to abso-
lutte dereliction of official duty-if not
something worse. There is scarcely a
taxpayer in Passaic township but knows
this, and the County Board Of Assessors
have long suspected it. And this
is the man now posing before the people
of Morris county as an honest farmer de-
serving of official promotion. With this
record of official incompetency "a too mild
phrase) he now asks the voters of Morris
county to trust him with the higher
office Of Sheriff. No Oscar would scarcely
make one of the safest men Morris county
has ever had in that office" Not much
nor is there much chance of his gettins
there.

A novel suit is to be brought in New
York. Holy Trinity Church brought
Rev. Warren of London, into this coun-
try, under contract to fill its pulpit. 1t
is claimed that this is violation of the
law relative to foreign contract labor, and
the United States District Attorney has
decided to institute proceedings. The
only question is whether or not this is
really labor contract, under the meaning
OF the law and the general acceptation and
construction of it. To us it does not ap-
pear to be such. At the same time, should
the Courts apply the law to ministers as
we'll as to the horny listed sons of toll, then
Holy Trinity has certainly violated the
statute, and must submit to the penalty.
